Motivational Quotes
Happiness
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.

Best Quotes about Happiness
It is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
We are no longer happy as soon as we wish to be happier.
Landor, Walter Savage
The final moment of success is often no more thrilling than taking off a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike. If you went on the hike only to feel that pleasure, you are a fool. Yet people sometimes do just this. They work hard at a task and expect some special euphoria at the end. But when they achieve success and find only moderate and short-lived pleasure, they ask is that all there is? They devalue their accomplishments as a striving after wind. We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them.
Jonathan Haidt
Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness
Orwell, George
Happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest effort. No one can possibly be satisfied and no one can be happy who feels that in some paramount affairs he failed to take up the challenge of life.
Bennett, Arnold
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a life time.
Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world.
Beckett, Samuel
Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul.
Democritus
Happiness consists in activity -- it is a running stream, not a stagnant pool.
Mason, John L.
True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one's self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.
Addison, Joseph
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Bergson, Henri L.
Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast - you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor
Unhappiness is best defined as the difference between our talents and our expectations.
Bono, Edward De
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means -- either may do -- the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
Franklin, Benjamin
The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.
Happiness in the present is only shattered by comparison with the past.
Horton, Doug
Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.
Millman, Dan
Happiness was not made to be boasted, but enjoyed. Therefore tho others count me miserable, I will not believe them if I know and feel myself to be happy; nor fear them.
Traherne, Thomas
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Dumas, Alexandre
My happiness derives from knowing the people I love are happy.
Ketchel, Holly
The best advice on the art of being happy is about as easy to follow as advice to be well when one is sick.
Swetchine, Anne Sophie
This is the best kind of voyeurism, hearing joy from your neighbors.
Chuck Sigars
Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
Goodman, Roy
All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it!
Bob Newhart
A person is never happy till their vague strivings has itself marked out its proper limitations.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.
Yeats, William Butler
Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe.
Marden, Orison Swett
Happiness is a positive cash flow.
Adler, Fred
Man is the artificer of his own happiness.
Henry David Thoreau
Gaiety --a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
Diderot, Denis
Happiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
Robert Frost
Happiness consists more in small conveniences of pleasures that occur every day, than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Franklin, Benjamin
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
Angelis, Barbara De
Enjoy your happiness while you have it, and while, you have it do not too closely scrutinize its foundation.
Farrall, Joseph
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
Muggeridge, Malcolm
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
The pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous phrase; if you pursue happiness you'll never find it.
C. P. Snow
The really happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery, even when they have to take a detour.
Jeans, Sir James
Happiness held is the seed; Happiness shared is the flower-Author Unknown People need your love the most when they appear to deserve it the least.
Harrigan, John
Happiness is a sort of action.
Aristotle
Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.
George Burns
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
Saint-Exupery, Antoine De
Not what you have, but what you see; Not what you see, but what you choose; Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what you dream, but what you do; Not what you take, but what you give; Not as you pray, but as you live. These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness.
There's a hope for every woe, and a balm for every pain, but the first joys of our heart come never back again!
Gilfillan, Robert
The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp.
John Berry
Some of us might find happiness if we quit struggling so desperately for it.
Feather, William
Happiness is a sunbeam which may pass through a thousand bosoms without losing a particle of its original ray; nay, when it strikes on a kindred heart, like the converged light on a mirror, it reflects itself with redoubled brightness. It is not perfected till it is shared.
Porter, Jane
Happiness is the longing for repetition.
Kundera, Milan
It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
Bentham, Jeremy
Happiness depends more on how life strikes you than on what happens.
Rooney, Andy
